Background: The Hollywood Theatre’s Project Youth Doc (“PYD”) program provides youth the opportunity to produce short documentary films of personal and social relevance, cultivating a heightened sense of community awareness/involvement and nurturing the development of students’ artistic voices in a positive peer-to-peer environment. By using documentary film as a vehicle for creative self-expression, students who participate in PYD become better connected to their peers, the community in which they live and, most importantly, themselves. Since the program’s inception in 2004, over 200 youth have worked in teams to produce more than 50 thought-provoking documentaries on topics ranging from the juvenile justice system to the dangers of drunk driving.
